Results
• Response Rate (RR) for SOT of 62% is similar to RR for HCT
• 1 durable CR (>22mo) and 7 durable PRs (range: 6-114 mo) in heavily pre-treated patients
• 12 of the 13 patients had high risk disease 3 (Age ≥ 60 years; poor performance status; elevated LDH)
• Overall Survival (OS) of 58% at 2 years compares favorably with historical data
Historical Data 3
• Historical data show 33% OS at 2 years in patients with incomplete response to rituximab
• Historical data show 0% OS at 2 years in patients with high risk disease

Demonstrated efficacy in granulosa / clear cell preclinical models of
OC
•
Gene mutations in FOXL2 and ARID1A link Activin to granulosa and clear cell OC, respectively
Attractive Market
•
Opportunity for rapid development in difficult-to-treat clear and granulosa cell OC
•
Expansion opportunities in serous OC and other solid tumors
•

• FOXL2 – granulosa cell tumor gene linkage 2
• In normal cells, FOXL2 protein turns on follistatin when activin signal received; shuts off activin signal
• In granulosa cell OC, mutant FOXL2 is not able to turn on follistatin; activin signals unchecked
• Mutation was present in 97% of granulosa cell tumors
